Hi guys, i have just had my car tuned again with the pwoer fc in it, it now makes 246rwkw on 14psi, however it now has a lot of lag, and feels like it's getting slower and slower and the engine light comes on at 7krpm. Can anyone recomend a really good tuner in melbourne? I have taken it abck ot the guy and he doesn't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks Mark

What mods. Hack advise sounds like its pinging up top of the rev range. Could be simply too much ignition or the fuel pump cant keep up and is leaning out despite how much fuel correction they are tryign to throw at it.

Ring around, there are a few good tuners in Melb, just dont be scared off by advice you may not want to hear :)

I'm not sure what your version of ripping someone off, but just to give you a heads up, a full PFC tune will cost you around 500-800 ... a touchup to your tune may only cost a couple of hundred, depends how much dyno time and tuning time is needed :dry:

What are RE customs and Ice Performance like (And all the other ones on that list)?

Both have reputations.... just would like to hear some personal experience?

Or is it just Racepace hands down as far as skylines go? Tried a search (thats how I found this thread) but cant find anything relevent.

A simple search of the Vic section will tell you mate.

Remember, no business slander or negativity, but most places have a pretty good rep with most people.

So yeah, have a search of the Vic section and you'll get a lot of threads about it all :(

When i went to racepace, all cars there were gtr's including two r34 gtrs :O and a 9second r32 gtr

So they must know what they doing and seem geared towards the performance :(

recustoms is a friendly environment where i have my car serviced as its only a nimble r32 gtst :laugh:

They also install sound systems and seen plenty of mercs getting audio systems

Hope this little info helps

Racepace by far are the most professional and honest workshop I have ever dealt with, I have been to a few, and have been burnt badly, but I have never had an issue with racepace, always top qulaity work, and my PFC tune is brilliant, the car runs better and returns better economy than the stock ECU ever did.

Ive heard very good things about RE customs too. And their pricing seems very fair to me.

Just Emailed them and was told $180 for safc install/tune and calibrate my evc...

by the way 31jet. saw your car in the magazines this month. Love what you've done with it!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
